The purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of balance control therapy on low back pain patient’s pain and flexibility. The subjects were consisted of 45 patients (15 males, 30 females) who had limited flexion range of motion of full spine with low back pain. All patients were one time treated the balance control therapy. Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Finger-to-Floor test(F-T-FT) were measured at pre-treatment, post-treatment and next day. VAS was used to measure subjective pain level. F-T-FT was used to measure forward flexion range of motion of full spine of low back pain patients. The results of this study were summarized as follow: 1. The VAS was significantly reduced between pre-treatment, post-treatment and next day (p<0.001). 2. The F-T-FT was significantly reduced between pre-treatment, post-treatment and next day (p<0.001). 3. The changes of pain decrease were related with pain duration(p<0.05), satisfaction for previous treatment(p<0.001). 4. The changes of flexibility increase were related with satisfaction for previous treatment(p<0.05).
